Pred Forte Dosage

You must buy Pred Forte as per your doctor’s prescription. The usual dosage of Pred Forte is 1 to 2 drops instilled into the affected eye(s) two to four times a day. Read the patient information leaflet that you receive with this medicine to know how you should apply it. Wash your hands and shake the bottle gently before applying the medication. Tilt your head back a little and pull your lower eyelid down. Look upwards and away from the eye dropper. Squeeze the drop out and then close your eye immediately.
